gas mileage on a 340
I'm curious what kind of gas mileage other 340 drivers are getting. I drive both highway and city daily and find myself averaging anywhere from 18-21 mpg. I will say that I do drive regularly 75-90mph with some over 90 spirited sport+ moments. even when I try and feather the gas and keep my gears in optimal positions, I still average just over 21mpg. I have a 6mt and again do drive on the harder side.
I've read that some people have averaged much higher mpg's and I find myself asking how is that possible unless you drive 60-65 all the time and never Rev high...very easy acceleration. so then I ask myself how do you manage to control yourself with this easy, fun to drive car where you don't even feel the speed it's so smooth. |

I'm going to hit 3,000 kms soon, I do both city/hwy driving pretty evenly and I'm getting 9.35L/100km based on my fill ups so far (~25 MPG). And this is in cold weather, I think it'll get better in the summer... given I don't drive like a mad man with the nice warm weather
I did get 6.1L/100km (38.56 MPG) on a 41km trip in ECO PRO once... majority of it was ~80km/hr but I still think it's really impressive. I think I read somewhere that the B58 is most efficient at ~80km/hr so I wanted to test that out

6mt with about 75% completely flat highway using eco pro when traffic is light. Car will arrive in New England soon and in a mostly non flat non highway environment I expect the mileage to take a beating.

so I guess that eco pro setting actually helps. I noticed it does dull the acceleration down immensely. although I gotta say....driving a 6mt on eco pro is a pain in the ass. I think I've tried it twice and hated it

I have a 340ix 6MT and am averaging 20-21 mpg combined. I do about 80% highway in Sport and 20% city in Comfort.
Kind of surprising... Not much better mpg than on the F80 M3. Better than my E92 M3 6MT though which gave me 15-16 mpg combined. |
